This is a long one!

Strap in, kids. You have been warned.— in Forest Hills.

Lenny Bednarz and I sat down for a marathon conversation... we touch on everything from growing up in old New York City to his bands, Without A Cause,

Fahrenheit 451 NYHC,

District9 BXHC, his short-lived stint in the pop-punk band,

Well, excuse me, Princess into

Crazy Eddie NYHC. We touched on the part he played in Grand Theft Auto IV: Liberty City. We go back into old New York City to movies, then back to bands, then start discussing our mutual love for cemeteries. Mixed within all of these are random side conversations about how the soul and feel of NYC has either changed or is gone altogether. And of course we mention how our friends parents had the right to slap us and that there was always that one kid that wouldn't tell anybody that he went home and stayed in while playing manhunt, jackin' up the entire game. This was awesome to do, and I'm sure we'll wind up doing another episode. We could've gone for another couple of hours easily.

Scott Vogel is back after about five years since he was last on the podcast. We has an informal conversation about touring, how much he appreciates he quiet downtime after playing over 200 shows on average per year. We touch on how he very rarely drinks and parties anymore and the positive affects it has had on him personally as well as Terror as a whole. His move back to Buffalo from Los Angeles, and we discuss our mutual love for Leeway and a bunch of other random topics. Always cool to shoot the shit with Vogel.

My guest is a legendary figure in the hardcore scene. With a resume that spans forty years. He's played in bands such as Blind Approach, Agnostic Front, Madball, The Eulogy, and currently H2O. Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Henderson. We run through his entire history from growing up in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the formation of Blind Approach to playing CBGB's and planting the seeds to lifelong friendships with future members of some of the bands he wound up playing in. He then decided to move to Boston to go to school from Minnesota and, with the friendships made in the past, opened the doors to joining Agnostic Front. From there, the rest is history. Sit back and enjoy this history lesson. Respect.

I finally had the chance to sit down with my friend, Danielle Dombrowski. She's been photographing hardcore and metal shows since the mid-90s, owns a successful hair salon, and also does wedding photography. We discuss what made her step into the hardcore scene, where she grew up, and some of the earliest shows she shot. With hundreds of shows under her belt and thousands of photos to show for it, her craft is second to none. This was a cool, laid-back conversation. I hope you enjoy.

This was a very long time coming.

My guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast is one of The Godfathers of Hardcore... singer for Agnostic Front, The Alligators, The Disasters, former bass player for The Psychos and Madball... author of "My Riot: Agnostic Front, Grit, Guts & Glory" and his new book, "WITH TIME: The Roger Miret Archives"... ladies and gentlemen, one of the greatest to ever do it... my friend, Roger Miret!

We had a cool, laid-back conversation about everything from his books, holding onto memories, how hardcore and the culture is so important to us, and many other people on a personal level. I decided to pick his brain about one of my all-time favorite AF records, "Liberty & Justice For...", what's going on with The Alligators and what's next up for Agnostic Front.

I'm grateful for the time he put aside for me. Especially since he rarely does podcasts as well as taking time away from his family to talk to me for a little while.

Nothing but the utmost respect.

A brand new episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast has dropped.

Smash this:

https://linktr.ee/thebrooklynblastfurnace

My guest this time around is Lil Dee " Danny James. Ridiculously talented, born and raised and representing Coney Island.

He wrote his first rhyme at ten years old. He was killing cyphers at twelve and hasn't stopped since. With his 20th birthday fresh behind him, he isn't even close to stopping. In my opinion, he was pulled right out of the golden era and placed here. A lyricist with clever word play, punchlines, and touches on relatable topics.

Something a little different for everyone. Check him out and support this kid. He has crazy work ethic and is constantly grinding. Respect.

When I say Bayway... you say...

Motherfuckers, my guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace is JayWay. Singer for Bayway, 25 Ta Life and guitarist for Shattered Realm. He also has a rap project out under the name JayWay 908.

Bayway has quickly caught on with the hardcore scene, and I'm all in as well. I met Jay only a couple months ago in person out on Long Island at a show. We started to bullshit for a few minutes and asked him if he'd be down to come on. We go into that certain moment that we all have that was our turning point headed into the hardcore scene. A couple of his former bands, and eventually the birth of Bayway. He is also the new singer for the legendary 25 Ta Life, so of course, I had to ask how that all came about. A super humble guy who loves and appreciates every aspect of making music and playing liv. He'll be back on the podcast, I'm sure. I hope you all enjoy this. Respect.

BAYWAY MOTHERFUCKER!

This was one episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast that I honestly never thought would happen. My guest this time around is one of the founding members and legendary guitarist of Biohazard, Bobby Hambel, aka Bobby The Handball.

Bobby hardly ever does interviews or podcasts, so for him to take the time out to sit with me for an hour and a half was ridiculously cool of him.

We go way back to even before the formation of the band when he had a project called "Rattlehead". We then go to meeting Anthony Meo (RIP) then Evan Billy and Danny Shuler. We touch on the early days of touring, the first record, and 32 years of Urban Discipline. From the very beginning until now, a new record being recorded and paying tribute to several friends that have passed throughout the years.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did doing it. Much Respect.
